things to keep your spouse with early Alzheimer's busy

My husband is also a golfer and goes into a bit of a tailspin when the weather is bad and he can’t play. My solution has been to find a very complex character based jigsaw puzzle - I start it myself and keep saying how hard it is and I how I really need help with it. He’s now hooked to the point where I start it and he takes over - we have at least 25 puzzles now and there’s always one on the table. I keeps him totally engrossed so I can now do my own thing and he’s happy. Yesterday he asked for my help to finish one so we had a nice hour together. Might help hopefully? I love the putting idea but my man will not entertain the idea

I wish my husband still did puzzles. He went through a serious puzzle phase. He spent most of the day doing puzzles, then a switch was flipped and suddenly he either lost interest or they became too challenging (even though I would buy easy ones). Now he's moved on to word search puzzles, but they don't occupy him as long.
